scripture_n have_v reveal_v he_o to_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o heathen_n and_o infidel_n be_v without_o love_n to_o christ_n be_v because_o they_o have_v never_o hear_v of_o he_o and_o the_o reason_n why_o many_o nominal_a christian_n that_o have_v hear_v of_o christ_n be_v without_o love_n to_o he_o be_v because_o they_o be_v not_o real_o persuade_v that_o there_o be_v or_o ever_o be_v such_o a_o

time_n you_o have_v more_o reason_n to_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v and_o be_v such_o a_o person_n as_o jesus_n christ_n you_o have_v only_o profane_a history_n for_o the_o former_a but_o you_o have_v sacred_a history_n for_o the_o latter_a you_o have_v only_o the_o write_n of_o man_n to_o testify_v the_o one_o but_o you_o have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o
